Performing a Social Security Number Lookup on the Patient EDM

To search for a patient profile using only the patient’s social security number, use the SSN section of the Simple Person Lookup page (see Figure 6). While this type of search should result in only one matching profile, there might be multiple resulting profiles.

To Perform a Social Security Number Lookup

1. On the Person Search page, select Simple Person Lookup from the Search Types drop-down list.

   The Simple Person Lookup page appears (see Figure 6).

2. In the SSN section, enter the social security number of the patient you want to find.

3. Click Search or press Enter to initiate the search.

   If there are multiple matching profiles, the Search Result page appears with a list of matching profiles. If there is only one matching profile, the Search Result page is bypassed, and the View/Edit page appears.
